Locate the connector to the charging socket inside the footboard. Disconnect it and then remove the nut.

Be careful to avoid damaging the cables and connectors.

3

Remove the charging socket or cover

Once the connector is disconnected and the nut is loose, you can take out the charging socket or the charging socket cover.

Make sure to check the installation position briefly before removing, so the new part fits correctly later.

Insert and secure the new component

Insert the new charging socket or charging socket cover in the designated place and secure it again with the nut.

If necessary, you can optionally use hot glue or spray adhesive if it makes sense for your replacement part.

Reconnect the connector and close the footboard

Reconnect the charging socket connector cleanly and check the secure fit.

Then screw the footboard back on and reattach the footboard cover.

Be sure that all screws are correctly seated during reassembly and that no cables are pinched or damaged.

Check the result

After assembly, check whether all affected parts are correctly mounted and function properly. Pay special attention to the secure fit of the charging socket, the clean cable routing, and whether the charging cable can be plugged in correctly.

Test your VMAX e-scooter carefully at a standstill after the repair before using it normally in daily life. Check the charging function in particular.
